New Tires Help

I need to get 2 new tires but I do not have much money. I need to find the least expensive tire without buying crap! Just a god general tire. Can someone point me in the right direction? I can really only afford up to about $150/tire. Good FREE SHIPPING site?

I currently have Pirelli Scorpion ATRs on. Came with the truck when I bought it used in 2008. They run around $200+/tire.

My truck is a 2006 Scab Lariat w/20" wheels.

Anyone heard of these?:

Thanks,
Steve

Just came up with the main site.

Which tire is it? I'm gonna guess it's the Nexen, since it's the only truck tire in the 20 inch F150 size under $150 listed there.

Nexen isn't bad. Far from top of the line, but they're a decent tire. I've ordered a couple sets of Nexens for customers at my shop who wanted something cheap for their cars. I get them thru American Tire Distributors, which is the same company as TireBuyer.com, just their commercial side.

If I was in a hard place, I'd throw some Nexens on my vehicle to get me thru.

If you just need some tires to get by, check out Craigslist for Maine and search 275/55/20. There were some finds there. I didnt see anything amazing, but stuff worth checking out to get by for awhile

I wouldn't mess with the Kumho's. Never had a good experience with their stuff.
